DB to XML (loop Problem)

Post by kkonline »

I am using the following code to convert data in db and display as xml

Code: Select all

<?php
$hostname_conn = "localhost";
$database_conn = "mysql";
$username_conn = "root";
$password_conn = "";
$conn = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn, $username_conn, $password_conn) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

mysql_select_db($database_conn, $conn);
$query_rsAll = "SELECT `subject` FROM `phpnews_news";
$rsAll = mysql_query($query_rsAll, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

$row_rsAll = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAll);

$totalRows_rsAll = mysql_num_rows($rsAll);



header('Content-type: text/xml');

header('Pragma: public');

header('Cache-control: private');

header('Expires: -1');



echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><root>' ;

if ($totalRows_rsAll > 0) {

     echo '<row>';

     foreach ($row_rsAll as $column=>$value) {

          echo "<$column><![CDATA[" . $row_rsAll[$column] . "]]></$column>"; 

          // note the period . will join strings together.

     }

     echo "</row>";

}



while ($row_rsAll = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAll)); 

echo '</root>';

mysql_free_result($rsAll); 



?>
It displays the subject of only the first row of the database rather than displaying the subjects from all the existing rows. (currently i have around 5 rows in table phpnews_news) It displays only the content of the first row.


I guess there's some problem with the loop.

Hi i figured it out, i was missing a do while loop ;)


The corrected code is

Code: Select all

<?php
$hostname_conn = "localhost";
$database_conn = "mysql";
$username_conn = "root";
$password_conn = "";
$conn = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conn, $username_conn, $password_conn) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 

mysql_select_db($database_conn, $conn);
$query_rsAll = "SELECT `id` FROM `phpnews_news";
$rsAll = mysql_query($query_rsAll, $conn) or die(mysql_error());

$row_rsAll = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAll);

$totalRows_rsAll = mysql_num_rows($rsAll);



header('Content-type: text/xml');

header('Pragma: public');

header('Cache-control: private');

header('Expires: -1');



echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><root>' ;

if ($totalRows_rsAll > 0) {
do{ // i missed this
     echo '<row>';

     foreach ($row_rsAll as $column=>$value) {

          echo "<$column><![CDATA[" . $row_rsAll[$column] . "]]></$column>"; 

          // note the period . will join strings together.

     }

     echo "</row>";

}

while ($row_rsAll = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsAll)); 
} // i missed this
echo '</root>';

mysql_free_result($rsAll); 
?>
